review 1: This book isn't so much a proper defense of Calvinism as it is Spurgeon's own reflections on why Calvinism in his opinion is true. Spurgeon goes back to the Word and back to history to show the progression of the doctrines of grace, and laments how the tides had shifted against the traditional reformed position. If anyone knows the Spurgeon's biography, you'll know he ended up having to defend Calvinism which caused terrible rifts even within his family. A great short treatise that is definitely worth the read.Brent McCulley
review 2: A short work that gives the reader a good introductory overview of the major tenets of Calvinism. Though it is called a defense of Calvinism, this work does not offer a strong Scriptural defense for Calvinism. Rather it presents S... morepurgeon's reflections on Calvinism with his personal assessment of why they must be so.Spurgeon concludes with a very high view of this theological system:"I have my own private opinion that there is no such thing as preaching Christ and Him crucified, unless we preach what nowadays is called Calvinism. It is a nickname to call it Calvinism; Calvinism is the gospel, and nothing else." less
